Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps Man With a Van Camden has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings, and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place.

Modern slavery is a crime and a gross violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, including slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all of which involve the deprivation of a person’s liberty for personal or commercial gain. Man With a Van Camden adopts a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man With a Van Camden operates in the transport, removals, and logistics sector, providing local and regional moving and delivery services. Our operations rely on a network of staff, contractors, vehicle providers, fuel suppliers, equipment suppliers, and other service providers. We recognise that certain parts of our supply chain and sector can present higher risks of labour exploitation, particularly where temporary or low-skilled labour is used or where multiple tiers of subcontracting are involved.

We strive to build long-term relationships with trusted suppliers and contractors who share our commitment to ethical conduct. We expect all those who work with us or on our behalf to comply with our values and standards on modern slavery and human rights.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man With a Van Camden has a clear, zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to our own operations, our workforce, and every supplier, contractor, and business partner we engage. Any indication of forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, or exploitation is treated with utmost seriousness. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and, where appropriate, take immediate action, which may include suspending or terminating relationships with individuals or organisations found to be in breach of our standards.

Our expectations are communicated through our policies, contractual terms where appropriate, and ongoing discussions with suppliers and contractors. We do not knowingly work with any party that engages in, condones, or is complicit in modern slavery or human trafficking.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We are committed to assessing and managing modern slavery risks within our supply chains. As part of our due diligence process, we seek to understand the labour practices of our key suppliers and contractors, with particular attention to high-risk categories such as labour agencies, vehicle subcontractors, and providers of manual handling equipment and related services.

Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk and size of the contract, we may conduct supplier audits or request evidence of policies and procedures addressing modern slavery, working hours, wages, and health and safety. We reserve the right to conduct site visits or request further information where concerns are identified. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully with any reasonable request for information and to demonstrate ongoing compliance with our standards.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We encourage a culture of openness so that concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices can be raised without fear of retaliation. Anyone working for or with Man With a Van Camden is encouraged to report any suspicion or evidence of exploitation, unsafe working conditions, or breaches of human rights within our business or supply chains.

Concerns can be raised through line managers, senior management, or other established internal reporting routes. Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and, where possible, confidentially. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any individual who raises a concern in good faith. Where necessary, we will engage with relevant authorities or specialist organisations to support investigations and remediation.

Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and key contractors. Relevant personnel are informed about the indicators of modern slavery and how to respond if they suspect someone may be at risk. We seek to embed respect for human rights into our daily operations by promoting fair treatment, safe working conditions, and lawful employment practices.

Man With a Van Camden recognises that addressing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We aim to improve our processes over time, including enhancing due diligence, strengthening contractual clauses where appropriate, and keeping abreast of industry best practice and legal developments.

Annual Review and Governance

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and our organisational values. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our measures, consider any reported concerns or incidents, and identify opportunities to strengthen our approach to preventing modern slavery.

The leadership of Man With a Van Camden is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this statement and ensuring that adequate resources are allocated to support our commitments. This statement has been approved by the management of Man With a Van Camden and will be updated as necessary to reflect our continuing efforts to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking from our business and supply chains.
